A few hours ago I got an email from PETA, and had no idea of what that was. So I simply clicked on the link to check it out, and saw a lot of things I wasn't expecting. PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, I guess you can imagine what it's about. I started reading all these articles, and they kept getting worse. There is a lot of things we don't know about big industries and companies around the world, such as McDonalds, Kentucky fried chicken, Lowes, even the NASA. Apparently there are some people in this world that we're ****** off by some animal during their childhood or something, so they decided to grow up to make them extinct. I thought maybe some of you guys might have been interesting in knowing about this, 'cause I sure am now. If you want to see some of these news go here (http://www.peta.org/). You can join and donate, or simply join to support the cause. Please comment and tell me what you think. -Sackgirl

Erm. http://petakillsanimals.com/ (http://petakillsanimals.com/) Good job supporting one of the most controversial animal rights groups in the world. I'm all for the SPCA.

Erm. http://petakillsanimals.com/ (http://petakillsanimals.com/) Good job supporting one of the most controversial animal rights groups in the world I'm not sure if using a site run by the Center for Consumer Freedom as an argument against supporting PETA is such a good idea. Both groups can be a bit extreme.

I'm a nature dude but PETA is just... wrong... If you excuse me... I need to use Mars as a barf bag... *comes back to Earth 5 minutes later and looks through telescope, seeing that Mars has now been turned green*

I don't read the article, since my internet is a bit wacky, so I don't know what PETA does bad, still I got a lot of mails to sign petition in avours o animal rights that I often sign up. I strongly support animal rights and I'm associated with some local associations. This doesn't mean that I support everything they do or how they do, but still I feel that someone must do something. And when I can, I try to voice my dissense when I don't agree. And the majority of the people that works in animal associations works hard and ar from the spotlights that are always pointed on dushbags. Leaving duties to others, while the World keeps getting worse is strongly immature. Whatever side you watch things, Mankind is a virus, the kind of living eing that destroys the habitat that nurtures him. So having the kindness and smart mind to read at least once in a week what happens to animals and environment, is something that in my not so humble opinion everyone should do. Acknowledging facts is at least something. Knowing what you eat, where you live and have consciousness, and be at least grateful and try to support the more eco friendly companies. That doesn't mean that you must not eat meat, since even if you eat vegetables, you're eating a dead plant, but behaving in a better way is something that can push companies to behave better if they want your money. Searching the logo that a soap has not been tested on animals requires less than 10 seconds, but it's useful. Some minutes of your lives can make the World a bit better.

PETA has killed over 2000 homeless pets and... I'd get an infraction if I said what they do to women in the ads... Oh, and everyone: listen to the Astleys. They're ASTLEYS people. Remember? Rick Roll? So listen to them... LISTEN:kz: My 4th and 5th grade teacher had some many pets and loved animals... 2 dogs, 4 birds, 2 cats, 1 guenie pig, and one anole...

I don't know exactly how much is true from their report but take it with a grain of salt. I have never seen any bad things related to PETA particularly, other than I think they can be a bit weird and obsessive. I think their influence is more in the states. I don't support them because there is still going to be animals getting treated like crap so long as people buy their fur etc. The people that do these things need to change with natural and sustainable incentives. It's a shame things have to be on the brink before people stop and think it's time to do something.

The people that do these things need to change with natural and sustainable incentives. i.e meat is bad for sustainability and creates global warming etc? I told my friend that and he is mature, and he said "you don't believe all that .... do you?"

i.e meat is bad for sustainability and creates global warming etc? I told my friend that and he is mature, and he said "you don't believe all that .... do you?" I was more talking about poaching for fur and other parts of animals, not the farming industry which is a whole different mess. I am not a scientist so I can't speculate on greenhouse emissions etc. But animals do a lot of farting and you know what else which produces methane which is one of the worst greenhouse gases for trapping heat. I find it hard to believe that this would have no impact on the planets atmosphere in such concentrations. Not to mention the forests cut down to support the farms which could have helped balanced things out. As for red meat, I think it is a much healthier lifestyle choice to give it up but I don't see the point in having to go vegetarian. That's a personal choice, it's how you go about getting that meat. There is added price for buying from a place that is certified for treating animals well. Are people willing to pay that though? It should be standard I think.

They get culled. Nice. On the plus side, the fascist vegetarians get top marks for both good intentions and short-sightedness

The onion's a joke website... so obviously it shouldn't be taken seriously? And it's a known fact that PETA uses naked women to further their goals... And the onion makes fun of that. That's what the onion does. What is there to take with a grain of salt? O-o

Well Rock my point was I doubt they hold these women hostage and "forced" them to pose naked as the video depicts. I'm sure they give consent to take these pics, not that I agree with using naked women as an ad campaign for animal welfare, kinda irrelevant. But just shows what it takes to grab some peoples attention, I'm sure the naked women thing does turn more than a few heads. I dunno if that "I'd rather be raped by an animal than wear it's fur" caption from their undercover cam is real. That could only be classified as shock advertising is it is. I somehow doubt it is though. I don't agree with them though still as I said. They seem to have a narrow view on the subject and have some extreme sides to them.

The thing about PETA is that they started out as a legit, well-meaning group of people who just wanted to help out animals but over the years the more extremist factions of the group basically took it over and turned it into the completely-out-of-their-gourd organization it is today. Not that helping out animals isn't any less of a noble cause these days but being a step below but being part of a group of boarderline eco-terrorists probably isn't the best way to go about it. And on that note, I don't think I could ever become a vegetarian; I'm not really gluttonous but I cannot deny that I loves me some meat.

I read some stuff about PETA around, and well, it's like every organization. There's a right principle as a key foundation, but it's always made up of people, and between them there's an high amount that do sick stuff or cares only for their own business. Anyway, following an association, a politic party, whatever in a blind zombie-like way is stupid. Just listen to what they say and if they're right support, otherwise leave them alone. Vegetarianism/veganism is a choice that I respect, but I don't share since I stil find a bit hipocrite to believe that you don't kill plants when you eat a salad. And still, there's a lot of vegetables that is treated with chimic stuff and that is genetically modified.

Nice. On the plus side, the fascist vegetarians get top marks for both good intentions and short-sightedness And I got a warning lol jk. But, why don't we just not force-breed more animals. it makes sense, and it's far less cruel. Also, you think were bad, try you meat-eaters making pigs so fat that they can't walk and die from heart attacks. :makes mental note not to check this thread anymore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKTsWjbjQ8E LOL! I love that video.

People forget that plants are living things, too. The only difference between eating plants and eating animals is that you can't hear the plant scream when you rip it out of the ground and bite into it. (I am kidding, please don't kill me, I am not a vegetarian, nor can I be because I am a picky eater, but I have no problem with vegetarians, vegans, meat eaters, etc. Except people who eat cats. Now that's just sick! lol) I'm a strong believer in animal rights and don't know much about peta, but everyone has told me that they are sorta evil. If you wish to donate to someone to help out animals, donate to your local animal shelter. Many of those animals are abused and are in need of good homes, medical care, etc. I adopted a cat almost a year ago that was taped up in a fruit box and left on the side of the road to die with his 15 brothers and sisters. I went to the shelter to get him and it was completely overcrowded. But it was a no kill shelter and they do their best to make sure those animals don't die and get a shot at life. But you can donate food and supplies to them, too, for these poor animals. Petfinder.com also has a service that you can donate to sponsor animals. So, yeah... my advice is to find a worthy cause other than peta and donate to them instead.

Have I become one of the most hated people on this forum because of this thread? cuz seriously, I didn't know that PETA was evil and all that crap... As a non-US guy, I read some Italian press about PETA. Companies that have been targeted by PETA have backfired to discredit PETA, and some people of PETA didn't behave well From my point of view, PETA is too extremist, but they sure have led some battles that have brought good results, like the one against McDonald's. Today everyone shouldn't trust even their panties, but reading stuff from respectable sources and making our own minds is the best thing. I always say that there are 3 versions of a fact: mine, yours and what really happened. So avoiding to hide the head under the sand is the better thing to do, even because if you hide your head, your back remains in good sight, if you understand what I mean...

Have I become one of the most hated people on this forum because of this thread? cuz seriously, I didn't know that PETA was evil and all that crap... Of course no one here hates you. But I think this does go to show you that researching various sources before buying into one groups claims is important. Every group has an agenda, from the far left to the far right. I'd always be a little suspect of the extreme claims of any group. Also, I don't really think they are evil, per se, just misguided. They operate under the notion that the ends justify the means, which leads them into conflict with others. I agree with kappa, support your local shelter if you love animals, even consider adopting a pet if you can.
